N451KT

This entry covers airframe N451KT, a Raytheon Premier I (Model 390) built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number RB-74. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by DAWSON AERO LLC, an LLC based in Fayetteville, AR, United States; the current ownership is notable as a single-corporate operator responsible for the aircraft’s civil registry and operational oversight. The Premier I was delivered as a light business jet and has been maintained to the standard specification for the type; ownership by DAWSON AERO LLC represents the latest documented operator record for this tail number. Public valuation or condition ratings specific to this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N451KT is fitted in the standard six-place executive configuration (club four plus two forward-facing) with a rear lavatory and is certified for single-pilot operation, providing operational flexibility for owner-operators or charter missions. Avionics are typical for the type, with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite specified as the common fit; this supports modern IFR operations, integrated flight management, and situational awareness for single-pilot dispatch. Based in Fayetteville, AR, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its high cruise speed and regional range—suits point-to-point business travel across the continental United States and short international hops from domestic bases. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Premier I fleet norms, focusing on its composite nose and wing structures and Williams turbofan engine program requirements.

The Raytheon Premier I (Model 390) occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche, offering transcontinental short-haul capability with a cruising speed around 451 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft. Competing models in the class include other light jets that target six-passenger corporate missions; demand often comes from owner-operators, small charter operators, and corporate flight departments seeking high speed and cabin comfort in a compact airframe. From a maintenance and resale perspective, buyers consider the Williams FJ44 engine maintenance program, avionics configuration such as Pro Line 21, single-pilot capability, and the airframe’s entry age (built 2003) when evaluating lifecycle costs and market value.
